Today was the first full run through of the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicoloured Dreamcoat which was performed in-front of a random primary school. While personally i was physically prepared for my role too push on the pyramid and boxes i wasn’t as physically prepared as i hoped. I only joined the musical at very late notice 2 days ago and i had only done Act One once. So my heart was racing and my mind everywhere, so was my mouth…i asked what to do next at least half a dozen times before i was confident enough to even step on stage and pick up a simple piece of clothing. Even though my primary purpose while attending the musical was to learn from the Stage Manger, i still was focused on the job. I knew that by tripping over in the dark or falling into the pit i would either be killed by the fall or by the cast and directors later. My mind was truly focused on my purpose of being there, learning how to become a better stage manager.

 But thankfully today all went mostly according to plan and i learned a lot by having to trust people i never talk too to help me to my job. And now i have a day off to recoup my thoughts and prepare myself for Sunday, its going to be a real audience and you know that by making one wrong move will get the whole Jewish community ranting on how so and so’s son did this and that. Yes what a wonderful world we live in.

Until next time,
